Has Hell frozen over? The Browns beat the Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys are on top of the NFC??? Join Jack and JD at 8 pm CST Tuesday to sort through the craziness that is the 2014 NFL Season!!

JT

Jack Terry · 1:00 AM

What's going on JD? Ready for som NFL tawk?
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:00 AM

You bet!! It's been one helluva week!!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:00 AM

I'm beginning to believe that this is the season for surprises!!
JT

Jack Terry · 1:00 AM

like you wouldn't believe!
JT

Jack Terry · 1:01 AM

It has thrown every predicition most people have had completely out the window.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:01 AM

We have to open with the Cowboys and their dominance of the NFC at this point...who would have thought it??
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:02 AM

Oh on a side note....you have about 1/2 of my attention...the Royals are playing
JT

Jack Terry · 1:04 AM

Sorry Internet went bye bye for a minute.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:04 AM

I thought you might be writing another book@
JT

Jack Terry · 1:04 AM

Dallas owned them on every facet, especially the supposedly stringent rushing D.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:05 AM

I was shocked and amazed at the LACK of performance by the Seahawks...not to take away for Dallas but...wow
JT

Jack Terry · 1:05 AM

Ha! No, sorry. My favorite play, other than that miracle 20 yard 3rd down reception, was watching Murray run over Sherman to score the game winner.
JT

Jack Terry · 1:05 AM

Yeah, Seattle looked bad! 14 of their points came off of special teams. Their offense was anemic.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:05 AM

I had Wilson as my fantasy QB thinking he would rock the secondary of Dallas...NOT
JT

Jack Terry · 1:06 AM

Sorry about that!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:06 AM

I'm telling ya...
JT

Jack Terry · 1:06 AM

You should have had Flacco as your QB. 5 touchdowns in the first 17 minutes of play.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:06 AM

And I'll concede that Romo looked okay
JT

Jack Terry · 1:07 AM

Solid numbers. At this rate he won't finish in the top five QBs of the season, but as long as they keep winning.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:07 AM

Well, come on, the Bucs aren't what they once were
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:07 AM

Yea Romo was smooth...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:07 AM

has been for the past couple of games
JT

Jack Terry · 1:07 AM

Yeah, but I figured with Lovie Smith they would at least know what time their game was supposed to start...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:08 AM

My fave QB right now is Bryan Hoyer....what a cool character...
JT

Jack Terry · 1:08 AM

Holy crap. Johnny who? Quaterback controversy what? He is owning that position!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:09 AM

Damn right and I'm proud to say that I thought he was the right QB for Cleveland last season! Before Hoyer got hurt he was playing football now
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:09 AM

great poise for so little experience
JT

Jack Terry · 1:09 AM

Yeah he's definitely showing the promise. A little competition apparently brought out his strengths.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:10 AM

I was truly impressed with several Browns against Pitt
JT

Jack Terry · 1:10 AM

Cam Newton also had a solid day (highest schoring FF player.) Too bad he ended up kissing his sister.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:10 AM

LOL
JT

Jack Terry · 1:10 AM

Yeah, the Browns proved that their first week, only losing by 3, was no flucke.
JT

Jack Terry · 1:10 AM

I like to spell flucke with a "c"
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:10 AM

And they have a light, so to speak schedule over the next 3 weeks...should be winners
JT

Jack Terry · 1:11 AM

They are probably best poised in their division, between their upcoming schedule and the confidence they are playing with.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:11 AM

they have a rough division though...Cincy, Ravens Pitt
JT

Jack Terry · 1:11 AM

Cincy is showing their flaws, and big win or not the Ravens aren't going to take much from their game this week.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:12 AM

They'll have to show what they got...all the time
JT

Jack Terry · 1:12 AM

Keep in mind the rest of the AFC is a combined 8 games under .500. It's very likely that at least one of the wild cards will come from the East.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:13 AM

Oh, I've got hopes for Cleveland to get a Wildcard...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:13 AM

If Dallas keeps up the good fight, they may win the division!
JT

Jack Terry · 1:13 AM

I meant North, silly east coast bias I have.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:13 AM

I knew what you meant
JT

Jack Terry · 1:14 AM

It's going to be a big game in a few weeks when they finally meet Philly. Dallas unfortunately got lucky with Victor Cruz being injured for the season.
JT

Jack Terry · 1:14 AM

They host the Giants next week, who can teach them all the ways NOT to play Philly.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:15 AM

That is a big one for Dallas...serious rivalry
JT

Jack Terry · 1:15 AM

The toughest game they have between now and 11/27 when they play Philly is Arizona, and that's at home. Giants twice, Washington, Jags...
JT

Jack Terry · 1:16 AM

It's a game the Giants will definitely be up for after this week's embarassment.
JT

Jack Terry · 1:16 AM

Think I'm gonna watch it with my mom, who's a die hard Giants fan. Should be fun.
JT

Jack Terry · 1:16 AM

Another almost shocker was Oakland/San Diego.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:16 AM

should be a funone to watch, mom or not...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:17 AM

Rivers was on fire...
JT

Jack Terry · 1:17 AM

So was Carr, at least early. That would have really upended the division.
JT

Jack Terry · 1:18 AM

Still it's nice to know that you can count on the Raiders to break your heart in the end.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:18 AM

he was a plesant surprise....Carr I mean
JT

Jack Terry · 1:19 AM

Yeah. I wonder if this game showed how much the players disliked the last coach. To look so good (against a really good team) after looking like poop to start the season makes me wonder...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:19 AM

Oakland has been in turmoil for a while...they'll settle eventually...coaching and management wise
JT

Jack Terry · 1:20 AM

I got a lot of friends that hope so, but I don't know. Several questionable contracts, especially at QB. If not Carr, who? a 8-8 record would be a huge season, but looking less and less possible.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:21 AM

frankly I hope they tank...I don't want KC in the basement!!!
JT

Jack Terry · 1:21 AM

I think your wishes will come true!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:22 AM

Another QB who showed some balls was Austin what's his name in St Louis
JT

Jack Terry · 1:22 AM

I know, right? Of course, that was also what the 49er's were saying afterwards. Did you see the post game interviews? The players openly admitted they didn't know his name.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:23 AM

They do now...he was almost spectacular...almost...shows great potential coming out of the 3rd string
JT

Jack Terry · 1:24 AM

The Rams have probably been the most shocking team, even with the bad record, because of how much they have still been in games. Of course, i also think it has a lot to do with defenses not knowing him, but then figuring him out pretty quick.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:25 AM

There is some truth to that but largely the Rams are running on guts...the Rams don't know him either...
JT

Jack Terry · 1:26 AM

Ha ha, yeah good point! Feel bad for Teddy Bridgewater this week. In his game he had 3 more of two different things than Stafford: 3 more yards, and 3 more interceptions.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:27 AM

and was sacked a pathetic amount of times...that one was straight sloppy sad
JT

Jack Terry · 1:28 AM

That's a team that is just dead in the water at this point. the weather is only going to get harsher (not that I have to tell you that) and the room for error is just going to get smaller.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:28 AM

LIving here in viking land, I watch the fans turn to Zombies...
JT

Jack Terry · 1:28 AM

Why shouldn't they? They want to be just like the players.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:29 AM

ouch...they got a shot earlier with the loss of AP and then the QB thing just sucks...I kinda feel sorry for them...kinda
JT

Jack Terry · 1:29 AM

I do too. there's something about them that makes me want to root for them, and shaping up this preseason they looked like they had a lot of the right pieces in place.
JT

Jack Terry · 1:30 AM

Meanwhile, the Jets, the team I picked as my sleeper, seem like they haven't learned to wake up at all.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:30 AM

undefeated through preseason...
JT

Jack Terry · 1:30 AM

which shows you how much that means. Cowboys were 0-4
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:30 AM

exactly.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:31 AM

I thnk Bridgewater has a future but needs some polishing...lots of polishing
JT

Jack Terry · 1:31 AM

And an offensive line to do some of that polishing for him. His RBs and receivers are so weak he at least needs time to try and make the plays.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:32 AM

I say give the Vikes about two years...if they keep a coaching staff in place...and some good luck drafts and they could do something...just like any other team trying to build a franchise QB
JT

Jack Terry · 1:33 AM

They could, and having the new stadium will help as well. Plus you have to expect the packers are going to start slowing down. Rogers is not getting any younger.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:34 AM

rogers has that touch though...he's a natural and could have a walker out there...he would still hit a ping pong paddle with the ball at 40 yds
JT

Jack Terry · 1:34 AM

he is, but he's played in 100 games so far, plus there was a few years holding a clip board. the older he gets the harder it is to recover and the easier it is to get injured.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:35 AM

True...there are a few QB's looking at that "getting older" thing...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:35 AM

Brady...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:35 AM

Breez....
JT

Jack Terry · 1:35 AM

Yeah, but he's playing like he's got something left to prove.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:35 AM

Big Ben.....
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:36 AM

even Philip rivers ain't no spring chicken
JT

Jack Terry · 1:36 AM

Big Ben is more than just looking old, he IS old, he's just too dumb to realize it yet.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:36 AM

LOL that is so true!!
JT

Jack Terry · 1:37 AM

I think part of Brees getting old his team is getting old around him. He just became the fastest (or youngest) to 40,000 yards, but he's running out of weapons. Plus their TE just went out for the season.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:38 AM

OH the injuries this week...so tragic! Cruz for the year and the Browns lost Mack starting center for the season!
JT

Jack Terry · 1:38 AM

I think Rivers is going to go down as this generation's Marino: best QB to never win a ring.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:38 AM

could be...he is one consistent player...and smooth, cool
JT

Jack Terry · 1:39 AM

The Browns losing Mack is huge! The O line is the one spot they were shallow. They have hopes with the moves they're making but it means two players learning new positions.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:39 AM

One of the salvaging thoughts on that is that the QB controversy had Hoyer and Manziel working out with both the starters and the second string...slight relief on the loss
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:40 AM

At least there is some familiarity
JT

Jack Terry · 1:40 AM

Yeah, that is a good point. The backups had plenty of practice.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:40 AM

exactly...that is what their coach said about the whole thing..very fortunate
JT

Jack Terry · 1:41 AM

I'm cautiously excited for the Browns. But their fans strike me as the kind that get even more nervous if more people start rooting for them. Too much pressure!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:42 AM

with the experience I have....living with a Browns fan...they are someof the most devoted in the world and are freaking out a little right now
JT

Jack Terry · 1:42 AM

I bet!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:42 AM

It's like don't jinx anything by being too sure...
JT

Jack Terry · 1:43 AM

Oh, as a lifelong Red Sox fan I know that feeling. Someone tried congratulating me halfway through the 2004 WS and I said "SHUT IT!"
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:43 AM

Right on...that's exatly it.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:43 AM

speaking of Baseball...gotta check the score brb
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:44 AM

1/1
JT

Jack Terry · 1:44 AM

I don't even know who's playing anymore. The Red Sox were nice enough to be out of it in time for me to focus entirely on the NFL.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:45 AM

KC is playing Baltimore right now...KC up by 2 games....of 2
JT

Jack Terry · 1:45 AM

Thanks! Speaking of games, let's look to next week. Which game has the most of your attention (besides the obvious.)
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:46 AM

I think the Bengals Colt will be a fun one...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:46 AM

Packers and Panthers might be a nail biter
JT

Jack Terry · 1:47 AM

Saints/Lions is another one. It's getting late in the season and one of those teams has something to prove and the other needs to stay on top.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:47 AM

Oh and Ravens Falcons may be a big blow out one way or the other...
JT

Jack Terry · 1:48 AM

I was just looking at that one. The whole NFC South is a crap shoot and Atlanta just looks like they can't get out of their own way.
JT

Jack Terry · 1:48 AM

49er's Broncos should be a good one as well.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:48 AM

And of course...SF and Denver...important game there...lots of playoff implications
JT

Jack Terry · 1:49 AM

Huge game.
JT

Jack Terry · 1:49 AM

Meanwhile, in this weeks "Who cares" department, Titans and washington. Excuse me while I yawn.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:50 AM

And Monday also...Texas and Steelers...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:50 AM

Maybe Houston will do something special on defense again
JT

Jack Terry · 1:50 AM

I don't know. I'm starting to lose faith in the Texans.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:50 AM

you and me both...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:51 AM

Watt can only do so much...
JT

Jack Terry · 1:51 AM

And he seems to be the only one doing much of anything. I think they have a shot because of how anemic the Steelers offense is.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:52 AM

Yep...so Thursday...Pats against a floundering Jet team...
JT

Jack Terry · 1:52 AM

My nephew will be very happy that night: I have no desire to watch that game so he can play Destiny on his playstation 4.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:53 AM

I say Brady looks like years past and lights up the sky with bullets all night...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:53 AM

There is no secondary in NY
JT

Jack Terry · 1:53 AM

And if we're lucky, rex Ryan gets fired at halftime.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:53 AM

LOL
JT

Jack Terry · 1:53 AM

Seriously, how does he still have a job?
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:53 AM

Okay, so surprises this week?
JT

Jack Terry · 1:54 AM

I'm not just trying to kiss up when I say Chiefs over the Chargers. They had a week to rest up, and they can study the film to see how the Raiders rolled points up on them.
JT

Jack Terry · 1:55 AM

You know, Rams beating Seattle may not be so farfetched either. Obviously Seattle will be playing with something to prove, but same thing, the Rams can watch the film to see what Dallas did.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:56 AM

I feel the same way but am hesitant due to Rivers at this time...he's at the top of his game and looking real good
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:56 AM

I can see the Chiefs making a game of it...our secondary is weak...injuries took out our best right off the bat. That worries me.
JT

Jack Terry · 1:57 AM

I think it's going to be a really good game.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:57 AM

Oh yea, I"ll be watching...big smile
JT

Jack Terry · 1:57 AM

I know you will!
JT

Jack Terry · 1:58 AM

JD, always another great tawk! I will see you next Tuesday to tawk about what surprises week 7 had in store for us.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:58 AM

You bet...it's been great jack and Go CHIEFS!
JT

Jack Terry · 1:59 AM

And just because I have to...HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS?!?!?!?!?
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:59 AM

:)
